As a whole, people really need to get it out of their system that someone is going to save us and realize that someone is supposed to be us.

Funny how Republicans can link Tylenol to autism with zero evidence but can't see the link between Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.

Listening to the mindnumbing dumbfuckery of the fucking US President over the past few days and now at the UN, knowing Americans chose this nonsense, is making me want to take a tylenol.

That feel when you're playing a fighting game, hero shooter, or any game with a multiple character options and you find that ONE character that just clicks with you.

I've lost count of how many games folks have either invited me or encouraged me to go to a US Event, I told them, "No, I really don't feel safe going down there", only to have them brush that off and insist it won't happen to me.

Look, I'm REALLY not liking the prospect of going to El Salvador...

I am actually HYPED for this.
I bought the first one on a whim on Switch and played it on a Hand Eye Society Stream years ago. I broke out into different voices for the characters and had an absolute blast! Can't wait!

Not to be cryptic, but whatever happens next is very much not gonna be my fault.
I've had no part in whatever nonsense is going on regarding a few certain things and have been cut off from most things related to it for a while.

I've made a LONG post thread on Twitter describing my story of this day 10 years ago and the unexpected ways this game transformed my life, made me grow out of my anxiety, and set the direction of my entire career.

I'd invite you to join me as I reflect on this.

Today is August 31.

It marks 10 years since I completed my Masters in 2015.

It also is the 10th Anniversary of An/Other, my Masters thesis game that jumpstarted my entire career. Never did I expect this game to make the impact it did.

Reading a manga called "Young Ladies Don't Play Fighting Games". Enjoying it so far, but I saw this panel and immediately had to make a dumb edit and now this should be a reaction image for anytime you see women do cool things.

It's tiring to see all the endless good possibilities that could manifest in this world and seeing people consistently smile as they choose the worst possible options.
